Former Tottenham and Brazil midfielder Sandro has come out of retirement to join Southern League Premier Central club Harborough Town.
The seventh-tier side beat Tonbridge Angels in the FA Cup on Saturday and will play League One Reading in the second round.
Sandro, 35, joined Tottenham from Brazilian side Internacional in 2010 and spent four seasons with the Premier League club.
He has also had spells with Queens Park Rangers, West Brom and Genoa and won 17 caps for Brazil.
Sandro last played competitively in 2020 for Brazilian side Goias.
In September, 2023 he announced his retirement from football in a post on Instagram.
Harborough manager Mitch Austin said the signing felt “totally unbelievable” and he was “gobsmacked” by Sandro’s decision.
“I had a chance conversation with Sandro a couple of weeks ago and we got talking about football, I told him about Harborough Town FC and the journey we are on, and he has been messaging me ever since to sign on,” he told the club’s website.
